439681 - Post install notification counts hidden items which is confusing

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Doron Rosenberg (IBM)]

Attachment: extensions.ini

After installing Firefox 3, it used an empty ff2 created profile.

It opened the extension manager saying 4 extensions were installed, but the list is empty.  The profile had no extensions installed.

The ini file however points at 4 extensions - all are the java console, but with slightly different UUIDs.

faulty java content

Do the java extensions actually exist in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\extensions ?

Comment 5

[Doron Rosenberg (IBM)]

Yes, all 4 do.  If the extension is listing itself as hidden, perhaps the code that displays how many extensions were installed isn't checking if they are hidden or not

Yeah that is exactly what is going on. Neglected to remember that case.

Hidden items are no longer supported
